Beauty Favorites: January

Friday, January 26, 2018

I wash my hair every day, I know its horrible for my hair but I could never find a dry shampoo that worked for me. That is until I discover this dry shampoo. It worked so well, and there was no residue. I like the fact it that it gave my roots some lift and that it actually takes the grease out. I did find I have to use generous amount of it but that my be a flaw in my application. People have commented on the smell - I don't mind it but it does have a fairly strong smell to it for those that might be sensitive to scents.

I have sensitive skin and most products make me break out. Last year I purchased a charcoal peel of mask and it was amazing, so once it ran out and that brand was no longer made I was on hunt to find a replacement. I have tried many of them but this one work well. It smooths your skin and refines your pores. I found that it peeled off easy but not without some trail and error. You have to evenly apply it and be generous with the amount, in which case it does peel off very easily. It dried very fast and didn't leave my skin dry.

Sometimes around turning 30 I freaked out and stared buying every eye cream I seen, and it wasn't until I found this one that I found something that I could see results with. It does what it says, it reduce dark circles almost insanely because of the color and gives you a radiant look. This has been my daily go to, I like the cream-like texture and the fact that it has a bit of a highlight/color in it.

I am not huge on highlighters or contouring mostly because I am not proficient at using them. A friend had this pallet when we were in Cuba and I fell in love. IT IS MAGIC! The pallet is fairly pigmented and goes on so smooth. It looks so pretty on the skin, gives a super glow (not glittery but an actual glow), and it doesn't look or feel oily.

I picked up two while grocery shopping, the colors were pretty and at that price point can you really go wrong? I was amazed how well it worked. Stays on well, it is matte, feels weightless and soft on the lips. This rivals some of my favorite matte long wear lipsticks from brands that are more $$$.

What do you guys think? What are your favorite beauty finds this month?
